Client Transformations

Corporate Client

We started working with Transformation Through Conversations in 2022. The programs started changing the thinking and the culture through Core Values teaching, employee surveys, supervisor trainings, leadership trainings with the Maxwell DISC assessment, and one-on-one coaching sessions with individual leaders. Ana helped turn the ship around with practical, real world, down to earth discussions.

The most impactful part of working with Transformation Through Conversations, and Ana specifically, is understanding our roadmap. Each session highlights new areas which need attention. The ability, for us to have clarity and actionable steps, have been instrumental in our success.

DISC Program Client

Ana Sasmiresan is an excellent DISC consultant. Her level of detailed preparation ensured we had two flawless sessions with 70 total attendees. The learnings that came out of the 1:1 debriefs and the group discovery were powerful and applicable to our people. Everyone found real value in the content and the facilitation. I highly recommend Ana for your leadership and communication development.

Josh Abelson

Working Genius Program

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you did to make our Manager Offsite such a great experience!

 

I've heard so much positive feedback from the team about the Working Genius session. Your ability to make the content engaging, relatable, and interactive created an environment where people were genuinely invested in the discussion and eager to participate. The insights and self-awareness our leaders gained from the session have continued to be a topic of conversation since the offsite ended.

 

You have a natural ability to connect with people and bring the material to life, and that made a tremendous impact on our group. The team walked away with a better understanding of themselves and each other, and I know that will continue to strengthen how we work together moving forward.

 

Thank you again for your energy, expertise, and partnership. We truly appreciate everything you contributed and the lasting impact you had on our leaders!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is the process of beginning an engagement with a Transformation Through Conversations expert?

Our engagement process starts with a discovery meeting that allows us to co-create impactful programs with our clients. We have access to thousands of programs, and we are trained to identify the best solutions for the company specific gaps or goals that we are addressing.

How do you quantify your impact and measure it to show client benefits?

We love this question! We define our success through our clients' success. We establish key metrics with each client we collaborate. We measure leadership programs via retention scores, reduced voluntary terminations, productivity, eNPS and we measure sales programs via close ratios and results. We measure culture via an engagement score and collaboration markers.

What if we don't have a training or HR manager to coordinate the process?

At Transformation Through Conversations, we are seasoned HR professionals, and we can fully support the training and development management process through our consulting or Fractional Learning Leader services. We co-create programs, manage the scheduling and implementation, provide executive updates and create your leadership development tracker across your organization.
